IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED TUG AND PAD LOP FOR HARNESS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. E92A76, dated June 26,1877 application led March 24, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HENRY R. WooDoooK, of Greene, in the county of Butlerand State of Iowa, have invented a new and valuable Improvement inDouble Tug and Pad Loop for Haines 5 and I do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of the constructionand operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings,making a part of this specification, and to the letters and n gures ofreference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a representation of a central verticalsection of my loop for harness, and Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof.v

The object of this invention is to provide al metallic double buckle orloop for suspending traces; and it consists in the peculiar con-lstruction thereof hereinafter particularly de scribed.

In the accompanying drawing, A designates the saddleskirt of a harness,having the band B secured to its lower end, which band projects upwardlyand passes through the passage 02 of the double loop C, having also thepassage (ll at right angles to the passage G2, for the reception of thetrace.

The upper part of the loop C is provided with perforations o o, for thereception of the pin a, which passes through one of a number of holes inthe upper end of the band B, by

means of which the loops may be vertically adjusted.

c is a screw, passing through perforations b in the side walls of thepassage G1, and also through one of a number of perforations in thetrace, by means of which the latter can be adjusted longitudinally; D isa loop for the shaft belly-band.

By means of the above-described construction, the band B and trace passthrough independent passages and do not rub together, and the side ofthe horse is protected from injury by the rubbing of the double loopagainst his side by the saddle-skirt A', against which it bears.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The saddle-skirt A', provided with the up- Wardlyprojecting band B, incombination with the double loop C, having the perforated passages Gl G2at right angles to each other, screw c, and pin a, substantially asdescribed, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my namein the presence of two witnesses.
